I don't know what was so spectacular about Majette. If the 'Rats are going to elect leftists, let them be as ugly and psychotic as humanly possible to contrast with the sane GOP. Majette was merely a more mild-mannered liberal, but she was still wrong on almost everything.
That's easy to say when they aren't your Representative.
Majette was at least cordial to those who lived in the northern part of the district. To Cynthia, we are the enemy. We didn't vote for her, so we aren't her constituents.
I recently wanted to send an e-mail to my rep on a relatively non-partisan issue. I called her local office. She has NO PUBLICLY AVAILABLE E-MAIL ADDRESS. Can you believe that? I asked how I could get something to her in writing. They said mail. I asked if they had a fax number. They couldn't give me one for DC - where she was at the time - but said if I faxed it to the local office they'd forward it to her.
I figure she gets so much hate mail that she tries to avoid the mail.
In the case of McKinney, the politics of leaving her in office don't matter. There is no way that she should be allowed to hold an elected office anywhere in the US.
Majette got greedy and deluded herself into thinking she could parlay her House seat into a Senate one, when she didn't have a prayer. Thanks to Majette, that Congressional seat is now held by a certifiable lunatic and open Islamist sympathizer, probably for life, or at least until she's tired of flying to DC all the time and grants the seat to a hand-picked successor. A thermonuclear warhead won't pry McKinney out of that seat before she's ready.
